To my Desi/South Asian sisters out there! And everyone else too, actually! :)

[jazmatazz]

I'll have to get a sample of the MAC studio tint moisture soon and try it out. Glad to hear you like it!

I can't believe how fast marine life sold out so fast online! They must have had very few in stock online. That makes me apprehensive about upcoming Stereo Rose. When I want something from MAC, I have to have it

Currently I am loving my new MSFN in Medium Dark as a setting powder. Love the natural finish it gives.

Nunu, are you getting anything from To the Beach?

Yes try a sample of it. I would've gone for the Laura Mercier one because it has more positive reviews but i couldn't decide on the shade online so once i am done with the MAC one i'll try it.

I really am loving the tinted moisturizer, i don't get oily and i like to set it with my Minerlize powder. I can mix it with Benefit's Moon Beam and also the lustre drop in Sun rush that was repromoted with To the beach (mine is from style warriors).

Do you watch lilpumpkinpie on youtube? She's the one who convinced me to get the tinted moisturizer, i loved it on her. Hehe

Marine Life was sould out from the UK website so fast as well!! And it is sold out in the counter and the free standing store.
I need to buy Stereo rose as well! Althought i am bummed because i heared it will be lighter and more peachier this time round

I wanted a bit of that dark pink.

MSFN is good, i am loving mine too!

From To The Beach i originally just got Get Away Bronze blush, that was all in my list. But then i went to the free standing store and got Scorcher nail polish (red/corally). I got a chance to swatch everything and see it in person (except for ML, it was already sold out). Nothing jumped at me to be honest especially in the lipstick department lol. However i did place an order last week for Life's a breeze lipliner, Float on by eyekohl, splashing lipglass and the body oil shimmer. I also got chatterbox lipstick because i've been wanting it for a while.

So sorry for the essay

Yay! I can't wait till you get your stuff! I have hipness already from the Fafi collection and i love it.
Look above to see what i got

PS. I love following you on twitter. When you posted that you've just had dinner, i was having my lunch

 

[jazmatazz]

Yes I totally watch lilpumpkinpie on Youtube too! She's awesome!

I was at MAC yesterday and got Spiked brow pencil, forgot to ask for a sample of the Studio Moisture Tine. It was near closing so it was kind of rushed, next time

Yes, I am hoping the re-promote of Stereo Rose is the original color Stereo Rose too. It's funny because if it's any different, doesn't that mean it's not Stereo Rose anymore? LOL.

Ooh fun haul!! Enjoy your goodies!

Definitely try Scene and Print from MAC...

Illamasqua do really good matte eyeshadows and they have one called Feline - perfect grey. Team it with Carbon or Nehru by MAC in the crease for a stunning smokey grey look.

 

[angelynv]

Hey Dirtyplum thanks so much for this. Will try Illamasqa too x

DirtyPlum, so happy to see your posting on here after ages

.. please post more of your tips and tricks

 

[dopista]

^^^ I agree.. welcome back Dirty Plum~!! I usually just stalk this thread since I do not have much to contribute.

I finally got my hands on a few Sleek palettes.. I love them but have only swatched them on my hand a few times and I've realised that I run to my MAC palette anyway instead *hangs head in shame*.. Did my second ever B2M last week for Chic lipstick.. Liked it in store but came home and it not at all flattering on me

Does anyone else here own it?

Also, I'm looking for a lilac/purple lippie kind of like Bipasha is wearing here:
http://www.specktra.net/forum/f188/p...1/#post1970448
Any help is really appreciated!

PS- I can't wait to see swatches of the new Stereorose.. I'm hoping it is similar to the original release. Personally, I have given up hope that any cheek product will top my lovely Torrid.. that is true love right there!

I got my hopes up for So Ceylon but I have used mine only once.. but its soo pretty in the pan

 

[berryLOVE]

I use to get my eyebrows threaded allll the time. I'm lazy now so I just tweeze a home, but every other month or so I get mine threaded. I love the clean look of it.

 

[angelynv]

There is a purple pink lipstick in the in the groove collection btw
Can anyone recommend a flesh colour eyeshadow in frost it veluxe pearl. I'm nc42-43 thanks x

 

[DirtyPlum]

Heyyy,

Aww thanks guys... I was a little over Specktra for a while, and kinda busy with work but slowly getting back into it...

Today at work (MAC) I wore the Blue Your Mind min eyeshadow and it looked beautifyl (in the groove collection). There are some great shadows to buy from that collection but Im not crazy about the texture and I dont think they blend with other colours that great. What have you guys bought?

 

[nunu]

Hey DP! I am so glad you're back here!

From in the groove i got: Blue my mind and love to love mes, stereo rose msf and happy together mb. I found the other mbs soo simmilar to the ones that came out a few months ago.

Hi Ladies,
I'm reposting this to get recs from my desi sisters =) (thanks angelynv) I'm a South Asian girl, getting married at the end of this year; I mostly use MAC products, including their foundation. Could you girls suggest products I MUST have from MAC as well other brands that I can use for and after my wedding e.g. foundation, blushes, eye shadows, lashes, other beauty products? I use MAC foundation in NC42 and have oily skin. To make things easier, here's a list (add anything else you think I should use):

Eyes
Lips
Cheeks
Face
Body
Others

THANKS for your recs!

 

[mrsmalfoy]

Mahi, what are you wearing? Do you like lighter makeup or more dramatic looks?

Why don't you explore Zerin's blog if you haven't already! here is the link to her gold eye looks (assuming gold would be the obvious choice for a wedding) XINAROX: Look: Gold

Also, nunu I just saw your swatches in the 'in the groove' thread. Your MSFs look lovely!

I was just wondering if you liked/loved SR and whether you would use that more than By Candlelight.. Basically, should I get both?

LOL..now i would be a devil if i said get both. But i will tell you the advantages of each msf.

SR- Yes it is the most coveted but can be used as a blush (which is a double for msfs).
BC- Can only be used as a highlighter on my skin on top of pinky blushes. It can't be used as a blush because it won't show up on my skintone

I haven't worn SR yet, but since i've been into MAC i have always been anticipating its release. But to answer your question, i would use SR more because i can use it as a blush. I hope this helps

 

[vintageroses]

^^ heheh okays I guess I won't be getting by candlelight since i'll be getting stereo rose & petticoat!

I can't wait for it to come nunu!

 

[nunu]

Petticoat is gorgeous, you'll love it

 

[vintageroses]

^^ hehe yayyy now i'm super excited. I hope i get it before my graduation ceremony!
